Traffic doesn't place an RFQ. Trust does.
An engineer lands on your site already skeptical. Technical content marketing closes that gap — capability guides, design-rule articles, and comparison pieces that read like they were written by someone who's actually built the board, because they were.
Minimum Trace Width & Spacing for 2oz Copper Boards
At 2oz copper weight, trace width and spacing tolerances tighten considerably compared to 1oz builds. The table below reflects our standard capability, not theoretical IPC minimums…
| Copper wt. | Min. trace | Min. space | IPC class |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 3 mil | 3 mil | Class 2 |
| 2 oz | 5 mil | 5 mil | Class 2 |
Engineers don't trust adjectives. They trust specifics.
"Industry-leading quality" convinces no one. A cited tolerance, a named reviewer, and an honest comparison do. Every asset we publish is built around these six pillars.
Real tolerances, not ranges
Actual capability numbers — your minimums, not the IPC textbook minimums every competitor copies.
Named, credentialed review
A process engineer's name and background on every piece — accountability an anonymous byline can't offer.
Honest comparisons
Where a process genuinely isn't the right fit, we say so — the fastest way to make the recommendation credible.
Data over adjectives
Tables, stackups, and spec sheets replace claims like "premium quality" wherever a number can do the job instead.
Linked to proof
Every guide links to the capability page, quote flow, or case data that backs up the claim — no dead-end reading.
Kept current
A visible "last reviewed" date and a standing schedule to revisit specs as capability and materials change.
Four asset types, published every month
Not a blog feed. A deliberate mix that covers the whole trust journey — from the capability page an engineer bookmarks to the comparison guide that gets you shortlisted.
- 1Capability & spec-sheet pagesThe reference page an engineer returns to while designing the build.
- 2Design-rule & comparison guidesPractical, number-heavy content that answers "can you actually build this."
- 3Engineer-reviewed accuracyEvery draft checked against real process data before it goes live.
- 4Four assets published per monthA steady cadence, scheduled against the priority terms from your intent map.
Written with your engineers, not around them
Audit the gaps
Cross-check the priority keyword list against what's missing from your current content.
Draft with process input
Working sessions with your engineers so specifics come from your floor, not a generic template.
Fact-check & review
Every number, tolerance, and claim checked and signed off before anything publishes.
Publish & interlink
Each piece linked into capability and quote pages so trust converts into an RFQ, not just a read.
What engineer-trust content changes downstream
Questions about technical content marketing
We draft it, but every technical claim, tolerance, and process detail comes from working sessions with your engineers, then gets reviewed by them before it publishes — it isn't generic content with your logo on it.
Typically one short working session per asset, roughly 30–45 minutes, plus a final review pass. We handle the research, drafting, and formatting around that input.
Topics are prioritized from the Buyer Intent Research keyword list, weighted toward terms in the "specifying build" and "comparing vendors" stages, where trust content has the most influence.
No — PCB SEO Strategy sets the site structure and technical foundation this content is built on. Most clients run both together, with content filling in the pages the strategy identifies.
